I promise my ancestors to pronounce my name correctly from this day on. I promise to be proud of where I come from and to stand firmly in the roots that I carry. I will say my name a thousand times over until they get it right and no I will not accept being called “D”, or “Donna” or anything less. I’ve succumbed to this humiliation for far too long. My name is Dounya. ___________________________________________ #proudofmyroots#saymyname#palestinian
